Upon Misty Morning's Fast Fading Glow

Upon misty morning's fast fading glow, 
dance fairies on glittering silver wings. 
Flying with fantasies flowing in tow 
And sweetest joy such dancing often brings.

Above their heads the rising sun awaits, 
its morning sun's time for shining anew. 
If fairies...

A movie, oh wow, when one need not be Woke!
A girl was a girl, a bloke was a bloke.

I forget I was born when times were free.
Not under pressure of societal perversity.

We had jobs, were not weird and went to school.
We had nothing free, we...

View that cholesterol wad
Sizzling cheeseburger
Hold the veggies, add ketchup
Tape burger to thighs
Hungry heart pulsates
Thump, thump, thump
Stop!

Broken glass and hidden things

Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust


Black Lies and Alibis

Innocence is shattered
All the children wept


Steel Cages, Monopoly and Chance Cards

For every step my father took,
my short legs took three.
“Daddy, please,” I called to him,
“you walk too fast for me.”

My sister took a husband;
my brother went to sea.
Our father sighed, “Our family time
has been too brief for me.”

As my teen years ended
and college lay before...

He baptized my heart with Holy water,
   Rivers pure and clean.
He has set my feet upon the rock,
 With a measure of faith in things unseen.

Like the hands of moses lifted high,
 I will call upon him, he will hear my cry.
If I...

When at home its often fast food I crave,
might even be leftovers that I saved,
always in a race,
open and shut case,
thank God for my nuke everything microwave!

I can't wait to unwrap it
The tasty nuggets
The smell, I gotta have it
The greasy hot fries
Box bursting with joy
Oh my gosh
Toy!

Have ten minutes to kill

Just enough time to write a poem

“I'm in love with love

Hey, hey, don't shove"

There you go... 

with 9 minutes and 45 seconds to spare!



Silly?

In This Olden Soul, A Fast Dancing Horse

In this olden soul, a fast dancing horse
lively one I now can not ride, of course.
Looking on this world, it races away
saddened by hidden darkness holding sway.

With echoing hoofs tapping stronger beats
I dream of my love between silken...

Quaker’s best is steel-cut oats.
Raisins drift like boats
on a melted butter moat
where rich almonds float
in brown sugar coats.
Dive in and
gloat!...

I.

Oh please, not to fade so fast into the afternoon
The one that is scattering in a goldenly swooning loneliness
The one that is shattering at a purply time of faintness
And the one whose wind is playing with so many violins

Because the wind will flow away a...

Upon misty morning's fast fading glow,
dance fairies on glittering silver wings.
Flying with fantasies flowing in tow
And sweetest joy such dancing often brings.

Above their heads the rising sun awaits,
its morning sun's time for shining anew.
If fairies are seen, man then contemplates,
dreaming depths of that rare mystical...

Fragility, having the potential not to last
the assured ability to become the past
to succumb to what may pass
like broken glass
a burning ash
a torn sash
time erodes all 
even those things kept
regardless of those who have wept
broom and wind has finally swept
until there was almost nothing left
and...

Fell so hard...and fell so fast

Vs 1
When we first met, 
I never thought I could ever love you
My foolish pride,
convinced me that I was so above you


Bridge
(but...)
I love the way you stare, with your sparkling eyes
I love the way you laugh, out loud until you...
